Surviving The Fourth Calamity
Chapter 2279 - 854: Snow Cloud Peak Never Hesitates
"How should I say this... Ink Brush actually came to understand it later." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ had a subtle expression, "He admires the ease of Doomsday but isn’t willing to let his family members just be mercenaries. He’s really overthinking it.
Those are completely opposite directions.
The reason Black and White Path ended up like scattered sand is related to him being too wealthy and preferring to use money to sway people.
Money has to be given, but when and at what price, that’s a different matter.
But, kids~ brimming with youthful energy, it’s normal to want everything."
"What are you talking about?" ’Magic Sword’ asked in a bit of a daze, "Ink Brush wants a family that’s a combination of Doomsday and Black Rose and then also be as powerful as Proud Sky Alliance?
Even the Alliance Hierarch couldn’t manage that."
"So now Ink Brush has figured it out." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ laughed... although ’Magic Sword’s metaphor is a bit exaggerated, it’s quite fitting, "He’s already found the path he loves most. He still has ambition but has let go of greed.
This way, I can feel a bit more at ease."
"Truly interesting." ’Perfect Bald’ made a bland assessment while holding his chin, "In those previous games, they always stabbed you in the back once you reached the peak.
After all, game companies want to make money, want to attract those guys who love dumping money into games, they can’t tolerate someone like you always dominating.
So, many times, even if those little runts are out in the open, deep down we understand what’s going on.
In those games, you get braver the more setbacks you face, looking like you want to ruin the game... Naturally, you did ruin them in the end.
But this game now, is truly fair.
The game company clearly hasn’t taken sides, even though we’re ahead most of the time in the story.
They haven’t made any special defenses because of it... like lowering the trigger rate for special encounters.
If it were before, Edna would never come across Elder.
They would definitely have raised up a force that could oppose our Proud Sky Alliance.
To stand on equal ground with us, it would indeed take buying back those many years with money.
Otherwise, only a few fools who like throwing money around would have emerged... the cost is too high.
Yet, although this game is so fair, William hasn’t especially chosen someone else to come... why are you the one restricting yourself?
And you’re so actively preparing a successor?"
"Are you dumb?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ glanced at him, "Choosing to fight like there’s no tomorrow only happens because there’s the thought of leaving someday, so the craziness happens.
After traveling to so many places, who doesn’t know how to make a game that no one wants to play?
Instead, it’s the game you really want to enjoy, to play with your descendants, that needs more careful consideration.
To realize this dream, of course, I’ll strive to keep this game appealing to people!
We can’t let young people feel like coming here is a waste of time and pointless.
Yet, we both know deep down..."
’Snow Cloud Peak’ smirked slightly: "If it were us, facing an enemy daring to provoke us, the first reaction would definitely be to crush them.
We’ve been through too much, seen every kind of devil and monster... We’re not interested in playing the same old tricks.
But the young ones are different; they are still curious.
Didn’t you notice?
Black and White Path and Wenjian see facing enemies as having something to entertain them.
Hey~ It was then I realized, I truly am an adult."
He suddenly leaned back, resting his long legs on the edge of the pillar: "Only a few decades have passed and my mindset is already concerned about the future... Baldy, you’re even younger than me!
Yet you also don’t seem to care about many things anymore?
If it was the past you, even ensuring the resurrection spot wasn’t disturbed, even charging in will only take out one or two people, you’d still steal kills without hesitation.
Even when tired of fighting, you’d disturb them with words.
But now, you’re so peaceful!
Asked to dig a hole, you’re only thinking about what reward you’ll get from me, instead of rejecting outright, saying you need a good fight first."
’Perfect Bald’ haven’t responded yet, ’Magic Sword’s face went gray: "I’m, I’m still young! An old man with a wife and kids cozying up..."
"Get down!" ’Perfect Bald’ kicked his silly comrade down again.
This time ’Magic Sword’ flew faster and farther... directly crashed into the magical profession crowd.
Unbeknownst to others, ’Perfect Bald’ had secretly drunk a temporary Strength Potion and wore strength-enhancing accessories... normally, he wore defensive gear.
"Are you prepared to start digging then?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ laughed in surprise, "Aren’t you afraid what I offer isn’t enough?"
"Ha~" ’Perfect Bald’ rolled his eyes, "Old buddies for so many years~ Do you think I don’t understand you?
This ring, how could you only want one finished product?
You have the blueprint, right?
This blueprint must be a whole set... High-level Alchemists can emulate it to create, and then Low Rank Sorcerers can make simpler finished products.
The most admirable skill of that group of Alchemist Masters at Aesces is their ability to downward compatibly.
When I heard it, I knew what you were up to.
Ha~ Proud Sky Alliance, the most numerous and best Alchemists, of course, are in our Black Rose.
Although there are some good ones over at Wenjian... However, after this incident, you can no longer choose them, right?"
’Perfect Bald’ focused slightly, and suddenly sighed: "Those students, they are actually really good.
However, their student loyalty is really too strong."
Some things, even though they don’t say, they all know in their hearts... Those two women are not the type to act as meticulously as Lu Tai and Zhu Meili.
Especially when doing bad things.
Yet, Wenjian hasn’t sent out any news.
Their house has always been the type where small rumors fly around... The neighboring school will surely help them promote a bit.
Being so quiet can only mean that everyone who noticed them chose silence, and did not discuss this matter with anyone outside.
Of course, these students may not necessarily know what these two are up to, or how severe it is... but they more or less know that what they are doing is detrimental to the Proud Sky Alliance.
Between their classmates and the interests of Proud Sky Alliance, they will inevitably choose their classmates.
Even if afterwards they realize that what they did is almost betrayal, these students might regret it, but next time, they will still make the same choice.
In their hearts, they are not maintaining a specific person, but their ’student loyalty’ and their school’s reputation.
Having been students themselves, ’Perfect Bald’ and ’Snow Cloud Peak’ can certainly understand these children’s actions.
But obviously, some things they cannot let them participate in.
Actually, before, they would also try to avoid letting the students participate too much... But when ’Snow Cloud Peak’ managed Proud Sky Alliance, he was mostly fair.
He wouldn’t strip their rights before things happen because someone might mess things up, someone might leak news.
But, he wouldn’t give them a second chance because it’s ’understandable’.
The youth journey management of Wenjian World naturally can also ’understand’ some more important things afterwards, temporarily not letting classmates below a certain level get a chance.
Especially like this blueprint that ’Snow Cloud Peak’ himself fought for.
Not giving it to them is too normal.
The evidence that crushes those from Wenjian are these two Gem Ships... Opportunities are fought for themselves, and naturally, abandoned by themselves.
When these students see more clearly what’s happening, those two women really won’t have a good life.
Those who sheltered them due to ’student loyalty’, afterwards, will be the sharpest knives stabbing the two.
That’s why ’Perfect Bald’ is so certain... ’Snow Cloud Peak’ at this time presenting this Gemstone Ring, and letting them dig a hole with clear purpose, that’s too clear to him.
Snow Old Dog never forgives... Even if he truly wants to retire to fallback and live leisurely.
’Snow Cloud Peak’ suddenly glanced below, with a slight smile: "All the Magic-based profession have shielded themselves, none died.
The greatest achievement of the Magic Sword was only to take down less than half a blood bar."
That guy is now in resurrection cooldown, desperately trying to talk to them in the panel... naturally, they won’t pay attention.
The old man! Always holds grudges.
’Perfect Bald’ nodded: "Indeed, a disorganized bunch, such a small probe caused a rift.
Several Knights actually left the Priest’s side!
Ha~ My Demonslayer, can take more than three in one shot."
"I thought they were a hired team!" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ folded his arms and observed closely, "But if they’re a team, even a team without a true relationship among Priests, they wouldn’t be dissatisfied with other professions over such small matters.
They should be lone wolves, or people who usually play together but have no real connection.
However, here should be the second-line combat personnel, the most important are those two Mages hiding among the Priests.
It’s estimated that the Array is their handiwork.
The strongest ones must have gone to deal with the Elder and Rainfall."
"The Elder and Rainfall are already safe." ’Perfect Bald’ replied without blinking, "They have already organized Proud Sky Alliance’s combat personnel to hunt down enemies in the wild.
Those enemies marked earlier who ambushed them were all captured and killed again."
"The Elder’s doing is always trustworthy." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ watched the slowly emerging form of the ’Magic Sword’ smile slightly, "Not like the youngsters who don’t understand human speech."
